Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Find Pellet at Eldin Springs

Travel to Eldin Springs in the Eldin Canyon region. Pellet, a young Goron, is distraught — the springs that Gorons have used for generations are tainted with black Gloom seeping from a crack in the earth.

2

Locate the Gloom Source

Follow the Gloom trail to its source — a fissure about 300 meters north of the springs. Multiple Gloom-infected Bokoblins have made a camp around it. Clear the camp and examine the fissure.

3

Seal the Fissure

The fissure is too large to seal naturally. Use Ultrahand to gather 4 large volcanic boulders from the surrounding area and stack them to block the Gloom flow. Pellet will help guide you.

4

Purify the Springs

With the Gloom source blocked, wait for the springs to naturally purify. Help accelerate the process by removing 3 contaminated rocks from the springs using Ultrahand.
